i could be so much more

I put my trip
to Italy on hold.

paris, germany,
Switzerland.

will have to wait.

mt. Everest will have to
wait too.

jumping out of a plane,
deep sea
diving

with sharks, all that too
is on hold.

no marathon this year for me.

going to med school,
and learning

hot yoga, will have to wait
as well.

art class, a Shakespeare
class.
cooking a pot roast class.
yeah, all of them are online
but it's not the same.

writing a book, reading
a book.
yawn.

everything is on hold.
i'm treading water here.

I could be so much more
than I am if not for
this crazy lock down.

where's the remote?
